About This Trial
Consuming dietary protein stimulates whole-body and muscle protein synthesis, the latter of which is typically measured using invasive primed constant infusions of stable isotopes with concurrent muscle biopsies. Alternative non-invasive methodologies have been developed (namely the indicator amino acid oxidation (IAAO) technique) to estimate the impact of protein ingestion on whole-body protein s…
